(Page 2) MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # M-1977.378 INSPECTION DATE 10/14/04 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS WHE OBSERVATIONS This inspection occurred as part of DMG's review of TR-27, addressing the final configuration of Mayflower Tailings Pond 4 and discontinuation of monitoring for phreatic levels, subsidence and for cyanide. The Sunnyside Mine is approved for 159.9 acres affected area. DMG holds $500,000 financial warranty. Operator has commenced final reclamation. The final configuration of Tailings Pond 4 appeared consistent with the descriptions and designs submitted in TR-27. The top of the pond had been graded to provide positive drainage to the west diversion ditch and capped with approximately 2 feet earthen cover, topsoil replaced, seeded and mulched. A small stockpile of topsoil remained for final spreading as needed. On November 17, 2004, DMG approved TR-27. On December 4, 2003, DMG calculated the cost of reclamation at $308,935, which included approximately $35,000 for placement of 2-foot earthen cover and grading to ensure positive drainage to the west diversion ditch. Observations made during the inspection and recorded in this report verify that the operator has completed significant reclamation since the December 2003 calculation. Therefore, the existing $500,000 financial warranty appears more than adequate to ensure reclamation. No other areas of the permit were inspected. No problems or possible violations were observed.
